THIS PAPER H.***' Wednesday Morning, Bcpf. 16.1888. current Events and Opinions. An active Iowa prohibitionist who lins been traveling through the South is impressed witli the fact that in the fourteen Southern States visited there is doublo the amount of well-established mid enforced prohibition which exists in the North. He finds between four and five hundred counties under prohibition; yet prohibition hits never had tbe endorsement of a Southern political convention, nnd could not carry ti single State as a State issue. He reaches the conclusion that if the Northern prohibitionists had nuulo their cause non-partisan, and liad fought for it by counties instead of States, they might to-day bave a majority of the counties in every Northern State!—Boston Journal. A grefit blow lias fallen upon English agricultural industry in tbe destruction of the profit hitherto realized from the manufacture of high quality cheese. American competition has at last ruined ttie prospects of the skilled and indefatigable dairy farmers of Cheshire, prices having fallen from 15 to 20 shillings per hundredweight, bringing down the market to figures nt which it would not be remunerative to continue business. Whnt effect this may have upon husbandry and the grent cheese making centres in England cannot be calculated, but a great reduction in the value of dairy farms may be expected. It cannot be said tbat superior quality in product is a remedy for unprofitable cheese making, for tho overwhelming fall has occurred in the price of the very best Cheshire, Farmers nre dismayed at thc outlook for the very branch of husbandry which has been regarded as the main stay of British agriculture. If dairying jjoes every resource of our agricultural classes must collapse.—Tswuloh Thmu. The mean politician is the man who understands politics iu no other sense than as a game of grab for himself and his constituents. He is a man who at the scat of government is perpetually haunting the departments with two penny halfpenny matters that he wants attended to "in my county." In the exercise of patronage he has no object in view but to place poople under personal obligations to himself; and nothing is too smalt or too petty to have in his eyes a political value, In the house he votes with his party with ull the regularity of a machine, The right or wrong of a question never conies up for a moment's consideration iu what he calls his mind. He serves the party ahd tlie party serves him. The country nt large he only knows as a kind of feeding ground for himself and his party. At home he pursues his business with a constant eye to the next election, to win iu which he depends mainly upon his favors to individuals, und upon grants of public, money obtained, presumably through his influence, for expenditure in the .county. Wherever ho goes, ho says by all his actions: "Politics is a 'trade, a mere matter of buying and i selling. Party is a joint stack eon- •cern for taking public contracts and i monopolizing public offices, IViu- • cipleand patriotism are words—no- ■ thing more." Tho mean politician •exists. He is not a rant avis by ■any means. Some constituencies iseem to like a man of that kind. Those are the mean constituencies. —Montreal Star. Wo are avowed sceptics on the subject of Party Government, but for practical purposes wo must take things ns they aro, and so long as the system remains in force it strong opposition will bo indispensable; the rule of an unchecked aud irresponsible majority being of nll forms of government about thu worst. Irrespectively, therefore, of any question of policy between thc two parties, and simply iu order to re* ■store tbe balance necessary to tlie ■Biifo working ,of tlio machine, wo should be glad to seo the opposition :greatly strengthened, To pile up ♦eulogistic superlatives about the •character and the eloquence of the leader of the opposition is of little uso; nobody questions the truth of tho panegyric, but the people are not moved. Nothing will move the people hut tho prospect of substan tial advantage to he gained by a change of government. Our own opinion has been expressed, that the removal of the customs line is tho one groat practical object now before us, and that a resolute movement iu thut direction would evoke sympathies, now suppressed for lack of leadership, on all sides. But whether this, or the reform of the senate, or anything else, be tho object selected, it must be frankly and decidedly taken up, steadily pressed, The British Columbian. VOLUME 28 NEW WESTMINSTER, B. C, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1885. NUMBER 23 and thoroughly worked into the mind of the peoplo : merely to place an opinion on record in the archives of Hansard is of no avail. Sign of a cabal against the leader of the opposition, or of a desire to run him down, we can discern none: but undoubtedly there are among liis followers a growing impatience of inactivity, weariness of a merely critical attitude, and a desire, after beating time so long, to hear the order to march.—The Week With inference to the daring French project for Hooding the des- cst of Sahara with what would he virtually a new sea, it may be well1 to recall the opinion expressed by M. Elisec Reclus, that at ono period in tbe world's history tho desert was covered by a sea very similar to the Mediterranean, and that this sea exercised a very great influence upon the temperature of France, as comparatively cold—or at any rate cool—winds blow over it, while now the winds which provail in the great expanse are of a much higher temperature, and are, in fact, sometimes suffocatingly hot. The appearance of tbo desert seems to support the theory of M. Elisee Reclus, that it was nt one time the bed of n sea of considerable extent, of which the great inland African lakes recently discovered aro possibly the remains. The present vast extent and configuration of the African continent would also appear to support the conclusion tliat at one timo it comprised a less area of land than it does at present. The serious question which arises, assuming that the theory of M. Elisee lleclus. is substantially correct, is, What will be the effect of the creation of a second African sea in tho room of that which has disappeared 1 Would the temperature of France, and possibly even of England, be again reduced 1 It is a geological theory that in tho glacial period of tbe world's history Great Britain was covered with ice and snow vory much as Greenland is at present. Home groat influences must clearly hnvo been brought to bear upon France and Great Britain, which rolled the ice over so many hundred miles northward. What was this influence1) Was it the large African sea which French enterprise is endeavoring to recreate 1 If it were, we should say that whatever tho French may gain iu Africa by the realization of a Saha- rnn Sea would be much more than counterbalanced by what they would lose in Franco itself.— fCntjimcriny. The parliament that has closed has made and unmade several reputations. Mr. Gladstone's reputation stands whero it stood, as that of thu first parliament man of our time, without equal and without rival. Mr. Bright has felt the eflect of advancing years, and is now little moro tban thu most venerated of the vonepible personages who represent the victorious campaigns of 1845 to 1880. Lord Iddesleigh has vanished from the scene into tha serene atmosphere of thc House of Lords, Lord Salisbury stands out more distinctly as tho only possible leader of the conservative party quite as much by tho lack of competitors as by his own intrinsic merit. Lord Hartington, although perhaps from no fault of his own, hardly stands where he did ; but he is ti solid, stolid man, not easily elevated nor depressed, maintaining his even way in the midst of opposing forces—an element of stability not to be undervalued in theso shifty times. Lord Granville- has not improved his reputation, neither has Lord Northhrook, and Mr. Childers is practically shelved. Among the reputations which' this parliament has made three stand out pre-eminent—thoso of Lord Randolph Churchill, Sir Charles Dilko aud Mr. Healy. Mr. Parnell and Mr. Gibson have also improved their positions, while Mr. Forster and Mr. Goscheu have become more distinct as elements of virility and force in tho liberal ranks. Mr. Chamhor- lain has uot improved his parliamentary position. Ho has undoubtedly advanced greatly iu popular estimation, but his reputation is not due to his parliamentary performances. Like Mr. Morloy, whose position as a popular leader has beon more rapidly won and more generally recognized than that of any of the younger aspirants to the first position, Mr. Chamborlain's reputation is an outof-door growth. Mo is a great stump orator and he is nu able administrator; he may be ii great statesman, but he is not a great member of parliament. On the whole, this parliament has used up more reputations than it has created, and that is not a ploasaut reflection.— Pall Mall Gazette, Irish ngriculturo linn pmgruBBud during tiio past yenr, not withstanding tho dupresBiuu in trade, Thu oflicial statistics, wliich hnve just boon umdu publio, show thnt there arc 5,000,000 acres nf hunt under crops in Irulaud, en incrcnae of 81,000 ovur tho ncrcnijc of 1884; tlint there aro 10,2fi0,000 ncrui of grata lnnd, a docroasu uf 200,- 000 ucriM, nud that bug, barren and mountain lnnd hna docrcasud 27,000 acres.

The proposal to sent! a lnrge consignment of reformed women from England to Canada is meeting with decided hostility on tlie part of the Canadian press. And quite properly so. It seems to us most questionable policy, and likely to result in great disappointment to the well- meaning people with whom the movement originated. If persons of this character are to be sent to this country to find homes away from the influences which proved fatal to them, they ought to he sent quietly and few at a time. Tlie very publicity given to the scheme will defeat its object. Colonial and Indian Exhibition Sir Charles Tupper's present visit to this country is said to he in the interest of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition. Tliis exhibition, whicli is under the direction and patronage of the Prince of Wales, is to be held at London next yeur, nnd is intended to secure the fullest possible representation of the resources of the colonies and India. The prince has sent a long letter to Sir Charles describing minutely the purposes and plans of the commission, and expresses tho hope thut Canada will not come short of the full measure of her possibilities. It is intended to raise a guarantee fund of 6250,- 000, and the prince asks Canada to become responsible for 8150,000 of this sum. The Prince of Wales seems very anxious that this exhibition shall be a success, and his efforts ought to be cordially seconded by all Canadians. Sir Charles Tupper is, perhaps, as well able as any of our statesmen to undertake the task assigned to him, and we doubt not that he will do so with credit to himself and the country he represents. Doubtless it is in furtherance of this scheme that Sir Charles comes to tliis province. We hope he wilt be able to make such arrangements here as will result in a worthy representation of the province's resources. A Mistaken Proposal, Our cotemporary of the Kamloops Sentinel advocates the removal of the provincial penitentiary to some point in the interior upon the plea that the location would be more central than the present site. If we have regard to territory only, the Sentinel's claim undoubtedly rests upon reason. Bi-t if the location of tiie penitentiary is to he guided by sucli considerations it would not stop at Kamloops or anywhere near it. The centre of the province is near Frying-pan mountain, between tbe Peace river coun try and the ocean. That region at the present time is tlie abode of Indians and other native iinimn but may nuver become the abode of white men. If the Sentinel wishes to find tbe centre of population in British Columbia, he must come much further south, ami he will Hnd it just exactly at this city, Population in the interior is undoubtedly growing rapidly; but it is growing rapidly in this district also, and on Vancouver Island, When the C. P. R. has been completed, and thegreat transcontinental trade once begins, population will surely flow to the terminal points with n swiftness that has never before been known in this country. The district of New Westminstor is certain to remain, as it is now, the most important district in the province. It will retain this position because it possesses as fertile soil as can he found anywhere, and because its proximity to the great provincial markets gives it a decided advantage over any other district. Victoria and Vancouver .Island will always support a large population, and it will probably not happen within iho lifetime of any one of us that the centre of Britisli Columbia's population will lie beyond this district. Then, why remove tlie penitentiary 1 Unnecessarily Kxclted. Those of our readers who have the privilege of perusing the Victoria Colonist must have been greatly surprised ut the alarm manifested hy that journal at the bare suggestion of 'C" Battery coming tothe mainland. In its issue of Friday morning our esteemed Victoria co- temporary makes a furious assault upon The Columbian for hinting at such u possibility; on Saturday morning another vigorous article followed; on Saturday afternoon the Viotoria Times took the mutter up; and on Sunday morning again the Cobnut returned to the fr.iy. Surely, if it had been settled beyond doubt that the battery was going to Victoria or Esquimalt, as the Colonist claims, there was no need of all this bluster and nonsense. But it has not been so settled, and herein lies the eauso of our cotemporury's otherwise incomprehensible alarm. The Victoria Colonist itself admits that Col. Holmes, who is tho highest Canadian military authority in this province, recommended that the battery should be located at the mouth of Burrard Inlet. How can it, then, pretend that the matter was absolutely settled, and that it only "remains for Sir A. Caron and Sir F. Middleton to select the spot contiguous to Victoria and Esquimalt"? Evidently our cotemporary is engaged in a process very much similar to that of tho person who keeps whistling lest his courage may fail. The Colonist enters upon this controversy by the utterance of a foolish nnd false declaration, and closes it with a piece of bluster. If The Coui.muiax had, without ground, asked for the removal of the battery from any point ou Vancouver Island to the mainland, our cotemporary might havo been justified in his vigorous denunciations. But we have done nothing of the sort. AVe have not attempted to interfere with the military programme at all. The article which appeared in this journal on Wednesday was not inspired by a desire to remove the military protection from the island to the mainland, or to dictate what course should be adopted by the military authorities. On the contrary, it was intended as a protest ngainst the meddlesome action of the Victoria Board of Trade which, doing business under tbe name of the "British Columbia Board of Trade," assumes to speak for the mainland, which it does not represent. When it was tirst intimated that C. Battery would be located at Esquimalt or Victorin, the New Westminster Board of Trade offered no protest against that arrangement. But when thc recommendation of Col. Holmes showed that the battery might go to protect Burrard Inlet, which is, from a military point of view, infinitely more important than either Esquimalt or Victoria, the Victoria Board of Trade at once interfered and began meddling with tho military programme. We have said it is not at all likely that either Sir Adolph Caron or Gen. Sir F. Middleton will be hithenced in their final choice of phce by anything emanating from a local and purely commercial corporation; but the had taste of the board's interference is none the less conspicuous. The Colonist's own report of the V loria Board of Trade's transactions shows beyond denial that the lo cation of the battery was an open question, and leaves tho inference that it is an open question still, This is what it says: "With regard to the defences, when it became known that Col. Holmes recommended tlie otablishinent of the military barracks at Coal Harbor, a resolution of I lie board was sent to Ottawa, and the minister of tnili tin promised that he would person ally inspect the several sites before a selection would be made." Now the minister of militia is on his way to this province, and it is fair to presume that he will make a selection during his visit. He has certainly not yot made a persona] inspection, as he promised, and, therefore, the locution of the battery is still an open question. The Colonist reiterates its old assertion that the fortification of Victoria and Esquimalt would effectively protect the mainland. If the Colonist was a military authority wo should say it is crazy. It is not a military authority, and its ideas of defence are worthy of no more respect than those of uny other civilian who has a selfish purpose to sorve. Its reference to the provincial capital is ex.i-cnifily unfortunate. "When tho colonies of Vancouver Island uud Biitish Columbia were mado one," it says, "strenuous exertions were made tn have the capital of the united province Used at the Royal city." It should have siid that srenuous efforts were made to rein! i the capital where it: was, at this city. But these efforts were fruitless. By a majority vote of the legislature, a majority of: whose members were not elected by the people, it was decided to remove the capital from New Westminster to Victoria! Does the Colonist think the removal of the capital by such means was a transaction ihat could be defended) If not, why Iocs it now refer to the circumstance, and seek unfairly to make it appear as if the peoplo of this city had attempted Io take tho capital from Victoria? We can assure our Vicioria cotemporary that the removal of the capital is regarded by I lie people of this city and tho mainland generally as an act of injustice tliat can never he forgotten, and that will nover be forgiven Ul restitution has been made. The Colonist purposely misrepresents our motive when it attributes the battery agitation to a desire to boom Coal Harbor. The Colonist knows well enough that Tin-: Col- UMBIAN has persistently refused to boom either Coal Harbor or Port Moody; and both it and the Times know well enough that neither the proprietors of this journal, nor any person interested in it, own a foot of land anywhere on Burrard Inlet. This fact has been stated emphatically more than once, and it cannot be contradicted. It is neither our interest nor-has it been our policy, therefore, to boom any inlet town, but it has been our purpose to guard jealously the interests of the province in whatever quarter or from whatever source they were threatened. From that purpose and practice the bluster and misrepresentations of the Colonist shall not divert us. A new map of British Columbia just issued by tho government, for snle at T. It. Pearson k Co's.

This number embraces buildings of all sorts, includ'iig single cabins for bachelors of which there have been about a dozen built during this time. The growth of Granville within thnt period has tinti- ubtedly exceeded that of any other place in the district, this city alone excepted. ALahob Industry.—According to Harper's Magasine for Ootober the manufacture of beer stands sixth among all the industries of the United States. Great Britain makes the most beer, tho product iu thnt country being 1,000,000,000 gallons against 000,- 000,000 iu Germany nnd 000,000,030 in the United States. Thero are 2,1111 breweries in the United States, and in tlicm aro employed 26,220 people. *> Thk SuitVEY.—Mr. W. O. Strong, 0, E., camo up from Victorin Iuat week to take charge of tho railway surveys now to be undertaken here in connection with the extensions. Mr, Cambie and Mr. Strong havo gono over tiie different routes for a preliminary examination. Mr. Strong (who is acting under Mr. Gamble's directions) is making arrangements now for a thorough survey of the line to connect with this city. Ho will have four or five engineers in his party, and will form a camp at onco, ■*-*.. ■- . Tiih Yacht Raob.—Tfio international yacht race for the queen's cup wus started again last Friday, but again it ended in failure. The wind was provokingly unsteady, and whon darkness sot iu less than 20 miles of tho course liad boon covered. So far as it went the American yacht Puritan seems to have had thc advantage, but not sufficiently to givo nny certain indication ns to the final result. From our latest despatches it will bo seen thnt tho American yacht won the race by six minutes, on Monday. ■-••-. Bah Discipline,— A correspondent of the Victoria Standard charges the Victorin public schools with great hick cf discipline, Tlie charge is mado to lio ugainst some of thu teachers ns well as pupils, aud tho correspondent thinks thu trustee hoard Bhould bo held responsible for this unfortunate condition of ii (lairs. The Slandaiil takes occasion to shift the responsibility of tlio want of discipline from the trustees nnd place it on the provincial secretary's shoulders! The Standard is awfully successful whenever it undertakes to timkc n political ass of itself. AiiUAuiiKo at Last.—Tho local syndicate hnve finally compromised their difficulties with the Canada Pacilic railway syndicate on a basis laid down by tho latter sovoral months ago. By the terms uf tho agreement tho local syndicate surrender to the railway syndicate one-third of ull thoir land in lots 181, I8ii and Hit), together with thu entire water frontage of thoso lots running back from thu inlet 200 feut, A parcel of 85 acres next to Granville town is included in tho arrangement which would appear to bo a vory good cue—for the- railway company, who have played the gamo of "cinch" with marked success.—Colonist, Cominu Gbeatnbws.—It is stated that thu governor-general is coming to British Columbia over the C.

Tilt: Couka. -Port Hamilton, lately taken possession of by Great Britain, belongs to Cui'ea. and tho occupation of that important harbor by Bri ish troops is extremely iritatiug to the Russians. Latest roports regarding tho Busso-Corcan treaty simply confirm thu statements already recorded, that Russia claims thnt tho Corenn roprusuntative signed a treaty giving Russia a protectorate, thnt the Corean agent denies this, and that tho Corean government has refused to ratify tho so-culled treaty. It is now believed that Russia will seek to couroe the Corean government by somo overt action. If she does so she will bo resisted by China and Japan by force of Mrs. Ha:."son'm Mission.—This remarkablo woman who, for two weeks hns heen talking to immense audiences, mii'-ing from 800 to 1000 people, and wlm has aroused a widespread nnd unwonted interest in tho gospel by her loving words, her striking pictures and her devoted life, will close hur meetings in the Opera House this evening with an address on temperance from a religious standpoint. Probably no ono was uver listened to fur so many oven- iugs in Seattle with so little of adverse criticism, while certainly no such uudioncos were evor before gathered for any purpose in thin city.

"—The Toronto Globe of the 4th inst. publishes tho remarkablo letter from Senator Mclnues which appeared somo timo ago in Tub Columbian, in which the C. P. H- syndicate and tlio Canadian department of railways nre referred to as "seething sinks of corruption." The Globe agrees perfectly with Tub Columbian in thinking thnt Senator Mclnnes ought to have un opportunity uf making good Iub assertion. "If the charge is ftilac," it says, "then Senator Mclnnes is a calumniator. If it iB truo, then Mr. Pope is unfit to occupy hiB present position, and his associates in the ministry, so fur as thoy support him, aro public plunderers. Thero is no other alternative." New Telephone System.—An Ottawa correspondent of tho Globe says: "A company haa boon formed here to introduce the Wallace system of telephoning, which, it is claimed, is superior to the Boll. The transmitters nre simple affairs without coils or magnets, nnd nll the batteries nre located iu tho central office. A Canadian patent for tlie system fins been taken out, and application mado for letters patent of incorporation, the incorporators being Hon. R. W. Scot', Hon. F. Olcmow, Mr. Henry Bate, nnd others. Telephones are to bo furnish* for 820 and $25 a year each. Ottawa will bo the head-quart ors of the company, but the system will be extended throughout thu Dominion." ^_ Billinus' Philosophy.—Josh Billings lately delivered a lecturo in San Francisco, and tho following philosophical paragraphs aro found ntnong his utterances: "Coquettes mako poorer wives than prudes, but thero arc better womon thnn either of them. There is no sure cure for lnzinois, but I have known a second wife to hurry it somu. Flies, morally considered, are like a good mnny othor people. They won't light on a good, honlthy spot if thoy can find a raw one. Human happiness is like a wandering flea. When you put your finger ou him he don't seem to be there, aud when you follow him to where he really is, he don't scorn to bo there also. Tho best way to be happy is not to want anything until you get it. A man who can wear n paper collar for a weok and keep it clean isn't much account. Probably one of the best ways to bring up a boy in the way ho should go is to travel that way ourselves once in it while." Handsome Cabs.—Tfio authorities of tfio Canadian Pacific Railway Company Imve added much to the comfort of thu travelling public by placing on tho line between Montreal nnd Toronto several new enrs of a very handsome pattern. The first-class cars are very handsomely upholstered in green plush nnd they are fitted up with double plate glass windows and nll modern improvements. The cars are carpeted aud a buffet iu onu end enables the passengers to have hot tea aud collee and sandwiches if they desire to. Tho second-class are also very handsome. They are all sleeping cars and nro fitted in dnrk onk relieved in panels of lighter wood, The dining curs aro fitted up similar to the first-class cars and tho interor trimming"! aro dono iu embossed leather which gives a very handsome appearance to tfio cars. The kitchen attached to each dining car fca model, of completeness. It contains a range large enough for tho use of a good sized city house, ice boxes, sinks, steam tables, nud in fact, all tho arrange- men ta pertaining to a first-class kttoli- en.—Ex. . ■*> ■■— - Pbomptly Oauoht. —- Following closely upon the heels of the massacre in Wyoming come-' another equally defenceless in Washington!

Five white mun nnd two Indians were arrested for tho crime, nnd tho coroner's jury found them to have been the perpetrator's of tfio cowardly crime.

Thero can ho no excuse fer nn outra-jo liko tins. A Chinaman mny bu n very undcirable person to havu in tho country, but his life ought to bn respected, and his death avenged upon those who havu been guilty of it. Canadian Trade.—A despatch from Ottawa says: Tho trade returns for July show a considerable falling both in tho exports and imports of the Do* minion for tho month of July compared with tho returns fur tho samo month last year. Tho total value of Canadian products exported during Inst month was 89,313,105, and of foreign products 8721,803, making a total of $10,035,028, against 810,- 783,578 in July, 1834, a reduction of 8748,550. There has buen nn increaso in the exports of minerals, fish, and agricultural products, and n heavy decline in the shipments of lumber, animal products, nnd manufactures, thc latter being nearly twelve per cent, less than in July, 1834, The reduction iu the aggregate valuo of imports is 81,580,517. Thc average percentage of duly collected cm dutiable goods lost month was over 28 per cent, compared with 25.0 per cent, in tho same month last year. This in thc result of the increased taxes recently imposed. Notwithstanding tho high tariff the returns show that compared with July, IK VI, there was an Increase last liiont h in thu imports of ngriculiural nuplu- muntB, brass manufactures, woollen, nnd other highly taxed articles.

Slioht.lv Mixed. •— Tho London Times is evidently thoroughly acquainted with lhe whole fishery question, Of course it weuld make no difference in the assurance and dogmatic style of tho Thunderer whether it understood the subject or not, On colonial topics in particular the Times always speaks with an air of condescension nud conscious superiority not altogether flattering to colonists. It is certainly very encouraging to be noticed at all by so high an authority, even though the advice and information that accompany the noticu aro not perfectly sound aud accurate, In a copy of tho Times n littlo time ago appeared a statement that Canada was at present n large importer of American lish in consequence of (ho shortness of her homo supply. . Of course it is nuudlcas iu Nova Scotia to contradict this statement. It is a fair sample, in point of accuracy, of many statements concerning Canada tliat nppuar in English papers. Whilo we are upon this subject wu may quote n passage from a book entitled "To Canada with Emigrants," by Mr. Erving Ritchie, lately published in England. On pngu 144 appears tho following in ro- gard to Winnipeg: "The city stands in the midst of n fertile plain adequate to tlie support of any amount of population. But the laud is far better further on. At Mnuitoba, fur instance, tho soil is much finer." It iB only fair to add that this it* not n sample of tfio accuracy or worth of Mr. Ritchie's book. There are some very good things iu ii.— HuU/tw Chronicle. To gain tho public confidence is essential to business success, and it can only be gained by a Btcady course of faithful dealing with them. It is hy this course that Messrs. Tuckett k Ron hnvo secured tlie great success of thoir "Myrtle Navy" tobacco. This confidence is not only a source of business to the firm, hut aho a source of economy which the consumers got the benefit of. Tho merchant never loses a moment of time iu examining tho quality of the tobacco. The name fixes the quality as absolutely as the mint stamp fixes the value of tlio guinea. It is uot even necessary for the commercial traveler's trunk to be burdened with a sample of "Myrtle Navy," all his customers know what it is, nnd know in an instant when it has been supplied. There is uo room for any dispute about it. No waste of time or postage in writing complaints about it. These may luok like trifles to the uninitiated, but they Bavp inouey, and enable merchants to perforin the work of distribution at the smallest possiblo cost, They aro part of thc reasons why the finest quality of tobacco grown <au be sold at so cheap a price. tfommuniratunw.

Thoso two instruments are of rosewood, with a superfine poK.h, secured by hand rubbing witli oil for hours. The touch is quick and easy, tht> tone brilliant and powerful. In 'musical quality and appearance they arc equal to tho best American pianos. The organs made by thc Company arc known almost everywhere, 'lhey are manufactured tn all styles, aud at all prices, ranging from $50 to $1,000. Many sample organs arc shown in the pavilion. Tho largest organ which the Company will exhibit, ft double-bank pednl, is at presont nt tho Dominion Exhibition, Montreal, but is expected here nt the end of the week. It is arranged to bo blown by Turk's water motor, which haa boen placed in position to await the nrrival of tlie big instrument. The organs run through all grades, from the thousand dollar instrument down to the parlor favorite. The casos show wonderful variety. Many of these aro of rare beauty nnd skilful workmanship. The case which secured for tli*»Coinpany a prize nt the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia is still much admired, and is largely manufactured, CasoB for parlor organs nre chaste in design and artis tic in execution. Tho musicians who tested the organs aliirmed that for sweetness of tone and elasticity of touch they are model instruments; while visitors can themselves judge ns to tlie beauty and style of the cases.

A sheriff ami ills Prisoner The Chilean ironclad Blanco Encal- ada, which took part with the siBter ship Almiranto Cochrane in tlio capture of the Huascar, completing her surrender by a terrible raking broad- tide, was docked on Wednesday at Hebburn-on-Tyne, iu tho graving dock of Mr. Leslie, shipbuilder. Much interest was attached to the circumstance on account of the ship not having been docked since she left Kngland, more than ten years ago. The iron bottom of the hull had been then covered with teak plank, fastened with iron fastenings and sheathed with zinc sheets in the hopo thnt this arram-ement would keep the underwater part of the ship fairly clean and free from decay. Early on Thursday morning the Blanco Rncalada waa visited at Hebburn by Sir Edward Reed, member of Parliament, under whose care she was originally built and is now being refitted and rearmed, and with him numerous other persons. It is worthy of record that tho bottom was found remarkably clean, notwithstanding its ten years' immersion, and that the waste of the slnn sheathing was scarcely ns much as had been anticipated, No evidences of any injury to tho iron plating of the ship's bottom, which was examined in places, could be detected. The experiment of the zinc sheathing upon a single layer of wood waB thus found to have been even moro successful thnn could have been hoped.—London Times. A Year's Fires In London. In tho annual report of the board of works it is Btnted tlint the staff of tlie firo brigade under tho control of tho board consisted in all of 060 officers and men. The Btrength of thc brigade in other respects was shown by the following Hat: Fifty-five fire-engine stations, twenty-three street stations, with hose carts, 127 firo-escnpo stations, four floating stations, three floating steam tire-engines, two steam tugs, five barges to carry engines, etc., two large land steam fire-engines, nud forty-two small land steam fire-engines. The number of calls for fires, or supposed fires, received during the year had beon 2,806. Of theso 373 were false alarms, 144 proved to be only chimney alarms, and 2,289 were calls for fires, of which 194 resulted in serious damage and 2,095 in slight damage. The tiros of 1884 compared with those of 1883 showed an increase of 145, and compared with the average of the last ten years, an increase of 531. The number of occasions on which lifo had been seriously endangered by tire during the year 1884 had been 137, and the number of occasions on which life had been lost had been 29. The number of persons seriously endangered by fire had been 200, of whom 158 weru saved and 42 lost their lives. Of the 4*J lost 20 were taken out alive but died afterwards in hospitals or elsewhere, and 22 were suffocated or burned to death. The quantity of water used in extinguishing tires in the metropolis during the year had been 42,000,000 gallons, or about 187,000 tons. Of this quantity about 105,000 tons were taken from the river, canals and docks, and the remainder from the street pipes. During the yenr there had been forty- three cases in which tho water arrangements were unsatisfactory. As regarded tho water supply the board regretted that another year hud passed without anything having been done toward giving the inhabitants of London control over their own supply of water. Women or Wealth. A correspondent of the Cleveland Leader gives some interesting statistics about the rich women of the United States. It is claimed that Hetty Green has a fortune in her own right of 840,000,000. Although married, she manages all her own business affairs. Misa Garret, of Baltimore, is worth 812,000,000. Catherine Wolfe, Now York, is said to be the richest single woman in the United States, but the exact value of her assets is not known. Sarah Hitchcock possesses $12,000,- 000. There are a large number of rich widows in New York. Mrs. Ayer, widow of the patent medicinu man, is rated at $5,000,000. Mrs. Martin Bates waa loft by her husband 81,500,000, which he mado iu dry gooda, and. a Mrs. James Itrown, who lives in a fine house on Park avenue nnd Thirty-seventh streets, received from her husband's estate about 84,- 000,0C0, which he accumulated as a banker. Mra. W. E. Dodge is worth 84,000,000, much of tho income of which she sends to the heathen. Mrs. Robert Goelet is worth 83,000,000, mndo in hardware, and Mrs. John C. Green, the widow of the Princeton College patron, is worth 810,000,000. Mrs. Commodore Vanderbilt received 81,000,000 from her husband's estate, which she has since increased to half as much more. Mrs, A. T. Stewart has an estate worth 830,000,000, but she lives like a nun in her big white marble palace on Fifth avenue, and the bachelor fortune hunters might as well woo u statue of Diana. Mrs. John Miutimt is another wealthy New York widow. She is worth 82,000,000. Gov. Morgan's widow is worth several millions. Clarkson Potter's widow has au immense incomo from his estate, and Mn. Edwin Stevens, who owns "Castle Point" at Hobokon, is one of the richest widows in America, and counts her wealth by tens of millions. Mrs. Parnn Stevens' huaband made 80,000,000 in hotols, nnd he has left her the Victoria nnd a share in the Fifth-avenue; Mrs. Marshall O. Roberta, the eight millionaire widow of a mining king, was talked of while Mr, Arthur whs in the White Houao as the prospective wife of the president. Philadelphia's wealthiest widow is Mrs. John Ray Barton, who is worth 87,000,000, which she inherited from her father, Dr. John Rush. Tom Scott's widow ia worth 83,000,000 which her husband left her from his railroad speculation, nnd the widow of Mr. W. Baldwin, the locomotive builder, is estimated ns owning 82,000,000 worth of this world's goods. Henry Dillon, the snw manufacturer, left nearly a million dollars to his wife, and tho Quaker City hns a half-dozen more rioh widows whose bank books register accounts na largo as tho wealth of Cnu- sus. The total annual consumption of tea, it is now estimated, is 3,000,000,- 000 pounds; of coffee 1,000,000,000 pounds; cocoa and chocolate 1,000,000 000 pounds. Tea is the favorite drink uf Russia, Holland and England, the last country annually importing 100,- 000,000 pounds, or levernl pounds to each man, woman and child. "Did I ever tell you about the prisoner who took the sheriff home?'1 asked Chiof Spears yesterday. "No? Well, it is a good doal of a cheat nut now, but if you have never heard it it is worth repeating. Four or five years ago—I don't remember the exact dato —ono of the Missouri sheriffs went over into Kansas with a requisition for a prisoner. He got his man, but when he Btruok Kansas City he was roaring drunk and got separated from his charge in the crowd nt tho Union station. He wub too fur gone, however, to pay much attention to a little thing like that, aud proceeded to take in the town in the most approved rutal stylo. Tho first I knew about the matter was when a tough-looking customer walked into my oflico with a valise in his hand. Ho said that Sheriff had como over in Kansas and arrested him un a requisition, but had got drunk and lost him. Ho had the sheriffs valise, iu which wero tho requisition papera aud handcuffs. What he wanted was a detective to go and find tho sheriff, as he did not propose to bo brought thus for and then turned loose in a strango city, nnd ho could not tjpt back home without his custodian, who hud the tickets. I would not bulievo thu fellow till we opened the valise and found tlio papers and tho handcuffs. Thoy found tho sheriff ovor in a saloon across the way as drunk as a country sheritl could be. Tho laat I saw of the pair was tho prisoner hustling tho sheriff ou the train at Grand avenue, and swearing at him for causing so much ttovihle.—Kansas City Times.

"Au idea is a thought worked into Bhape ready for hand, tongue, or foot, Aa you think, so you are. Tell me what you are thinking about to-day and I'll toll you what you will bo doing to-morrow; so, let mo toll you, brethren, you'd better mind what you aro thinking about to-day, if you know what's good for you—if you would have any respect to what you may bo doing to-morrow. "You partake of tho naturo of tho men and things by which you are surrounded. You are very much like the world around you—like your circumstances, and associates. Place the worst man inMurfreesborough in good company and he'll be as good as anybody. No man cun stay with me an hour and uot be as good as I am, and I don't mean to say that I am over good. I only mean to say that iu my presence, or in the presence of any othor minister of the Gospel, ho will not swear. I know nu goud man would; or, I shuuld say, no gentleman would. I have overheard men swear who, on noticing iny presence, would begin to beg my pardon. 'Poor man,' I have answered suoh, 'you'd a groat deal better be on your knees begging God's pardon, uot mine.' "It's ten thousand times harder to be just thau generous. It is easy enough to give a poor woman a dollar, but when it coines to following a straight line, being just in all things, juat to God, to your family, to your children, to all men, it is a different thing. Sumo men are nover just to their wives. They pay their cook five dollars very willingly Saturday night, but when the hard-working, economical, painBtnking wife nsks fur a little money ou Monday, tho brute will sny, 'Oh, wife, what do you want with money?' "I know a fellow in Georgia who had beon married ten years. Hia wife one morning suggested that that was her birthday, and he said to himself, •I've got a good wife; sho has been kind, self-sacrificing and truo iu all respects; I must buy her a present.' So he went down that day, and walked into a storo, and bought himself a now hat, consoling himself that nothing would more plense a good wife than to make her husband a present of a uew hat. He's the meanest man I over saw, und there are a great many men just that wny. '•'Wo are too often unjust to our children, exacting of them things we don't do ourselves, nnd berating them with our tongues when they don't understand what we want. And then we ate too mean to aay ten words to make one of them happy. Oh. how unjust wo are to wives, husbands, children! "If you put u littlo downright justice iu your conduct with yuur children you'll have happier homes. Did ynu over start anywhere with your wife, and keep hurrying hor up when you ought to know sho has not only to dress heraelf, but five children besides, while you have nothing to do but get ready? 'Hurry up, hurry up; I don't want to ho too Into! If yuu don't hurry I'll gu un by myself.' Aud after n while she tells ynu to 'Go on, husband; I'm afraid I can't get ready in timo for you; I dun't want to hinder you.' "I've done just that way, I havo walked off, out the gate and fifty yards down the road, and ihen I'd stop and think. I'd say, 'Sain Junes, you are the mealiest mnn llvjng, nnd you shan't go tu church iim* nnywhctn else til) yuu learn how to bohavu yourself.' And then I walk hack aud go in nnd find worry in my wife'a face and tears in her eyes, and I gu nud put my ui ins around her and kiss her—and there's nobody there hut us two-iind say, 'Wife, I'm as mean as a dog; I know I am, nnd I wnnt you lo forgive nio,' and she forgives me, and we get ready nnd go— and find ourselves tho tirst ones thoro. "The Lord have mercy on us; how unjust wo arc to our wives, our children, our brothers and sister.*, and uur neighbors! "There are men in this very town whu meet a neighbor's wifo oil the street, and take utl' their hats, nod bow nnd smile so sweetly nnd tenderly. 'How aro yuu, madiini?' and thou go home nnd wouud thoir own wives with their tongues. Clever to nil wives but their own! And bo it ia with sume wives; they are nil smiles and kind words in company, and eut their husbands to the heart with thoir tongues. God pity tho man who hns such a wife ns thnt! "I don't scold; if I do, 1 Intend to Rcold somebody else's wifo. I have heard mothers say, when n neighbor's child would break Hume article of value, 'Oh, it doesn't matter!' when, if their own child were to do it, they'd slap him clean noross tho room.
